<process content>
Then, it is described with reference to Figure 5 the basic operation of the lightness determination unit 206 in the present embodiment.
Fig. 5 be show according to the present embodiment really standing wave shape monitoring lightness Y processing flow chart.
Lightness determination unit 206 detects the APL of all areas of the received image signal ID exported from input unit 101
(entire picture APL) (S201).In addition, in the present embodiment, lightness determination unit 206 detects the (portion APL of above-mentioned partial region
Subregion APL) (S202).Then, the acquisition of lightness determination unit 206 is shown from the upper limit that display brightness obtaining unit 107 exports
Brightness P (S203), and judge whether upper limit display brightness P is threshold value T1(S204) below.
It is threshold value T in upper limit display brightness P1In situation below (S204- is), lightness determination unit 206 supervises waveform
Increase to maximum (S205) depending on lightness Y.It is greater than threshold value T in upper limit display brightness P1In the case where (S204- is no), lightness determines single
Member 206 judges whether the difference between entire picture APL and partial region APL is predetermined threshold T2(S206) below.
Here, threshold value T2The value being set as: being threshold value T in above-mentioned difference2In situation below, even if as above one is real
It applies and determines monitor brightness Y in example based on entire picture APL like that, the brightness of waveform monitoring can also be arranged to not to user
Bring the brightness of dazzle.For example, predetermined threshold T2It can be 30, but threshold value is not particularly limited.In addition, threshold value can be it is variable
's.In addition, lightness determination unit 206 is determined based on the above-mentioned difference in the step S206 of the present embodiment, but can be with
Above-mentioned difference independently carries out the processing in step S208.

In, in the present embodiment, threshold value T2It is 30, therefore in the case where above-mentioned difference is 30 situations below, without the place in step S208
Reason.Therefore, in step S208, APLavgValue (the APL in the region indicated by dotted line 210 is not usedavg≤15or 240≤
APLavg).In step S208, by with region (15 < APL for being indicated by solid line 211avg< 240) corresponding brightness (30 < Y <
95) correspondingly it is determined as waveform monitoring lightness Y.
As a result, in the case where entire picture APL is 100 and partial region APL is 60, according to expression formula (4), pass through
The waveform monitoring lightness Y that processing in first embodiment obtains is about 55%, but in the present embodiment, according to expression formula (8),
Waveform monitors that lightness Y is about 48%.Showing entire picture APL high this means that can more effectively reduce (image is integrally bright)
And the dazzle provided in the case where display waveform monitoring when the image of partial region APL low (partial region is dark).In addition, with
Above-mentioned average value is got higher, and waveform monitoring shows brighter, so that preventing display image and waveform monitoring poor each other in lightness
It is different very big, therefore user can see waveform without difficulty.
In step S208, lightness determination unit 206 is based on APLavgDetermine that waveform monitoring is bright with upper limit display brightness P
Y is spent, but can be by replacing APLavgAnd waveform is determined using partial region APL and monitors lightness Y.In addition, lightness determines list
Member 206 can be by replacing APLavgAnd waveform is determined using lesser one in entire picture APL and partial region APL and is supervised
Depending on lightness Y.In addition, lightness determination unit 206 can be by replacing APLavgAnd used as entire picture APL and partial region
The average weighted value of APL come determine waveform monitor lightness Y.

Spend the processing of Y.
In the step S407 of the present embodiment, compared with first embodiment, brightness is reduced.Firstly, lightness determination unit 406
Ratio (the every 1cd/m being determined as between upper limit display brightness P and maximum brightness (100%)2Brightness) D (expression formula
11)。
Then, lightness determination unit 406 uses following table using variables A described above and variable B and variables D
Determine that waveform monitors lightness Y up to formula (12).
Y=A+ (100-A) × B-50 × D ... (12)
As represented by expression formula (12), compared with above-mentioned first embodiment, lightness determination unit 406 monitors waveform bright
It spends Y and reduces 50cd/m2.The reduction amount of brightness is not particularly limited, and be can be and realized have the power consumption of predetermined value below
Any value.In addition, the reduction amount of brightness can be it is variable.
It (is 400cd/m in upper limit display brightness P2In the case where)
For example, being 400cd/m in upper limit display brightness P2In the case where, waveform monitors lightness Y by following expression formula

Lightness Y is 25 (%).In addition, being less than threshold value T in entire picture APL4In the case where, waveform monitoring lightness Y is arranged to 25
(%).As described above, waveform monitoring lightness Y is arranged to be identical to APL in the case where carrying out global brightness adjustment controlmax
The value of ratio between entire picture APL.Thus, it is therefore prevented that the brightness of entire backlight due to caused by waveform monitoring becomes
Change, and reduces the brightness change of display image.
Here, threshold value T4The value being set as: being threshold value T in above-mentioned difference4In situation below, prevent from passing through the overall situation
Brightness adjustment control and the lightness for monitoring waveform becomes too low, and lightness Y is maintained at particular value.For example, predetermined threshold T4It can
To be 64, but threshold value is not particularly limited.In addition, threshold value can be it is variable.
